King Castle Tattoo Studio is open 7 days a week, Monday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. We are open on public holidays too. For late evening appointments or special scheduling, please contact us in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Yes! All consultations are completely free of charge. You can visit us in-person, call us on 093610 99690, or send us a WhatsApp message with your ideas and reference images. Our artists will advise on design, placement, sizing and provide an honest price quote — no obligations.

Our pricing is based on design complexity, size and placement. As a rough guide: small simple designs start from ₹1,500; medium pieces (palm-sized) range from ₹3,000–₹10,000; large custom pieces and half-sleeves from ₹15,000–₹40,000; full sleeves from ₹50,000+. All quotes are provided upfront — no hidden charges. Book a free consultation for an accurate estimate.

We primarily price by design complexity and size rather than purely by the hour. For large, ongoing projects like full sleeves, we may offer an hourly rate structure. All pricing is discussed and agreed upon before any work begins, ensuring complete transparency.

We accept cash, all major UPI apps (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), net banking and credit/debit cards. A small advance may be required to book appointment slots for large custom pieces. The advance is fully applied toward your total tattoo cost.

Absolutely. We follow the highest hygiene standards in the industry. Every session uses brand-new, single-use disposable needles that are opened in front of you. Our equipment is sterilised using hospital-grade autoclave machines. All artists wear fresh gloves. We use only FDA-approved, vegan-friendly imported inks with known ingredient profiles to minimise allergy risk.

Tattoo pain varies by placement and individual pain tolerance. Areas with more flesh (thigh, upper arm, calf) are generally least painful. Ribs, spine, hands and feet tend to be more sensitive. Our artists are experienced in keeping sessions comfortable — taking breaks when needed and using numbing cream for clients who request it on sensitive areas.

Session time depends entirely on the design size and complexity. A small simple tattoo may take 30 minutes to 1 hour. A medium detailed piece typically takes 2–4 hours. Large pieces and sleeves are done across multiple sessions of 4–6 hours each to maintain quality and client comfort.

Before your appointment: eat a full meal 2 hours before (to maintain blood sugar), stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol for 24 hours, wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the tattoo area, arrive clean-skinned (no lotions on the area), and get a good night's sleep. Bring your reference images and any questions you have for the artist.

Keep the tattoo covered with the bandage for 2–4 hours after the session. Then gently wash with mild soap and water, pat dry (never rub), and apply a thin layer of unscented moisturiser. Repeat 2–3 times daily. Avoid direct sunlight, swimming and soaking for 2–3 weeks. Don't pick or scratch the peeling skin. Our team provides a complete aftercare kit and printed instructions with every tattoo.

Yes! We offer a complimentary touch-up within 90 days of getting your tattoo at King Castle. This covers natural fading or patchiness that may occur during the healing process. The touch-up policy applies when aftercare instructions have been followed. We stand firmly behind the quality of every tattoo we create.

The outer skin layer heals within 2–3 weeks, during which you'll see peeling and slight fading — this is completely normal. Full healing of deeper skin layers takes 3–4 months. During this period, avoid prolonged sun exposure and keep the area moisturised. Once fully healed, your tattoo will settle into its final vibrant appearance.

King Castle Tattoo Studio offers the best tattoo course in Chennai with three structured programmes: Basic (1 month – ₹15,000), Professional (3 months – ₹35,000) and Advanced Mastery (6 months – ₹60,000). All courses include hands-on training, all equipment provided, live client sessions and a nationally recognised certificate. We've trained 500+ successful tattoo artists.

No prior art experience is required for the Basic or Professional course. Many of our most successful graduates had zero formal art background. What matters most is passion, patience and willingness to practise consistently. Our instructors are experienced in teaching complete beginners and will guide you through every step from scratch.

Yes. Our certificate of completion is recognised by tattoo studios across India and has been accepted by studios in UAE, Singapore and the UK. We also provide a portfolio of your work completed during the course, which is often more valuable to employers than the certificate itself. Our placement success rate is 95%.

We maintain small batch sizes of maximum 5–6 students per batch. This ensures personalised attention from instructors and maximum hands-on practice time. Batches start every month, and seats fill up quickly. We recommend enquiring at least 2–3 weeks before your preferred start date to secure your spot.
